The song, which appears in the second act of the hit West End musical, finds Effie performing her number One Night Only before soon having it turned into a disco track by her former group members. It’s the third release we’ve heard from the new cast album. Other tracks released so far include Listen and the unstoppable hit And I Am Telling You (I’m Not Going).

Ready?! Turn up the speakers and get ready to belt it out, boys…

April, Amber Riley took home the highest award for a leading female actress in a musical at the Olivier Awards. Starring in a show that champions the power of being true to yourself, Amber spoke exclusively to Gay Times about why she thinks Dreamgirls connects so much with the LGBT+ community.

She told Gay Times: “Any person that feels outcast or any person that feels like the underdog in any situation can identify with Effie because she is (as well).”

She adds: “I think anybody that feels that way, especially the LGBTQ community, I feel like they identify with that.”
